Information on Condo Tour |
In any big city... some of the
most -spectacular- living spaces are in the heart of it all, in -highrises-
right downtown. Chicago is no exception.
We found a pretty amazing condo that serves as simply an 'urban retreat'
for a young couple from the burbs. This 5,000 square foot, $5 Million
condo boasts an entertainment room with 3 big screen TVs, a Zen garden
in the midst of the home office and living room and artwork done by
the likes of Andy Warhol.
The spectacular 'look' of the apartment is the work of Richar... of
